HISSING SHIPS
A LIST or 'nu: '" NEVER OP."
The mysterious disappearance in the Atlan
tic of the steamer City of llostoa, with a large
number of passengers on board, recalls to
mind
.many similar cases in the annals of
ocean navigation. Two occurred in the
eighteenth century which attracted general itt
tendon. The first of these was the disappear
' ance, in 1768, of the British frigate Aurora,
bound for India, which, a l ter touching at the
Cape of Good Hope, was never again heard
of. poet Falconer, author or " The Ship.
wreck," was on board of her as purser. The
other instance was Ihnt of La Peronse, the
French navigator. who, after a long cruise of
discovery in the Pacific Ocean with the frigates
Aserolabc and 80u.4301e, left Botany Bay early
in 1788 and was never heard oragain ; though,
in 1828, traces of wrecks were found on the
New Hebrides, which are now thought to
have been those of the missing squadron.—
The disappearance of the Proinient. in 1841
caused the most unparalleled excitement.
Ocean steamers were novelties in those days,
for only a few years had elapsed since a well
known philosopher had pronounced it impos-
L slide to cross the Atlantic by the aid of steam
alone. The President left NeA• York early in
January, and was despaired of in April. Tre
mendous weather had prevailed during the in
terval, and unusual quantities of ice had been
seen in low latitudes. Among her passen
gers were Lord Fitzroy Lennox, son of Duke
of Richmond, and Tyrone Power, the cele
brated Irish actor. In 1854, the screw pro
peller City of Clairgoir left Liverpool for Phila. -
delphia, on the first of March, with four hun
dred and eighty persons on board in all, She
nits never since been heard of, and no flag
limits which could be identitied have been
discovered. In 1856 the Collins steamer
Pact:fir left Liverpool. on the 2:3,1 of January
with one hundred and eighty-six persons on
hoard, among them Messrs.. Eliot Warimetoo

since, been heard oilier, tout she is supposed
to have struck on an iceberg. In 1862 the
!steamer Lifeguard, which left Newcastle on
the 20th of December, disappeared, and is
supposed to have foundered off Flamborough
Ilead. These are the only cases within oni
knowledge where a' large steamship has dis
appeared totally without leaving behind a
trace of her existence ; but, as an example of
the manner in which such terrible calamities
may occur, we may cite the case of the Lefort,.
a Russian vessel-of-war Of eighty-four guns,
which, in the year 1857, keeled over and went
down bodily in the Gull' of Cronsadt, within
sight of three of her consorts. The whole
ship's company mnounting to eight hundred
and thirty:six InTsons were drowned. No
human tongue' survived to tell how the Hu a
garia n, a Canadian steamer, was wrecked.
She was discovered in 1850, on the rocks,
near Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, and though
two hundred persons had been on hoard, only
three bodies were limed, while the mail-bags
were ' , Atwell to pulp. The Prussian corvette
A 111,1.7011 may doubtless be enrolled in the list
of missing Ships. In 1861, she disappeared
from the ocean, and some armracks,, contain:

the Ilelder, are the only proofs of her iv reel: -

THE Two BnowNs..—The keys of Stewart's
warehouse guard a stock worth $3,000,000,
and hence to close this building is a matter of
no small responsibility. Alter the, door is
locked it is tried by a gentleman who for_
twelve years hits attended to this duty. This
is Mr. Anson S. Brown, the general manager
of the establishment. Those of our readers who
visit Stewart's will reniember the expressive
countenance and attractive manners of the
gentleman who stands near the entrance to
receive customers - and - direct alma to the dif
ferent departments. Mr. Brown is acquaint
ed with an immense list of business men, and
by his facile manners, expedites their move
ments through the vast concern. Mr. Brown
is one of.the three persons in the establish
ment who arc allowed to speak to Mr; Stew
art. and as a general thing, all persons. who
desire a personal interview with the, great au
tocrat of trade are referred to hint. Their er
rand Is thus looked into, and if it be necessary
to confer with Mr. Stewart, Mr. Brown will
be the medium. By this rule Stewart escapes
a vast amount of petty and vexatious business,
and he knows that in the hands of this lieu
tenant his interests will be well attended to.
Mr. firown is front Connecticut, and shows
enough of the 'Yankee to make him interesting.
Ile is an accomplished business man, and after
attending to his regular duties he makes it a
,rule to remain until all others have . left the
store. The store is then locked and Mr.
Brown turns the knob to test the security.
The night watchman then commence their
guard by trying the door also. As theyOnd
it secure, they are responsible for its condition.

referred to the first Mr. Brown, I will 'now
speak of the second. This is Mr. John Brown,
manager bf the great retail concern a mile up
town. Ile has been with Mr. Stewart a great
Many years, and has won his complete confi
dence., Ile differs from Anson S., in the fact
that he looks and seta like one bred and born
in New York, but like him he Is a man of tine
appearance and, as might be inferred, of easy
manners. Ile has n very remarkable acquaint
ance with the fashionable ladies of this city,
and as Stewart trusts this class of customers,
Mr. Brown Is the autocrat of credit. When
the salesmen send word that Mrs. wants
a $5OO shawl on•six months, Mr. Brown pen
cils on a card "yes" or "no," and that Is the
end of the matter. Ile knows the standing of
all the fashionable families in this city, mad
can tell at a moment's notice whom to trust.
No wonder tlien,that he is sucks favorite with
this class, since he holds the destiny of dress
and fashion among those who worship these

What Boston Clergymen think of
Dickens.
A Tribute to the Memory of the Deemed by the
Rev. William R. Alger.
BOSTON, June 20.—0 n the Sunday follow•
ing on the death of Charles Dickens the Rev.
Mr. Dunn of this city, of the Beach-st. Pres
byterian Church, preached a sermon entitled,
" Vanity of Vanities," in which he attempted
to show that the life of the great genius has
been a lamentable failure. In the course of
his sermon he said " Mr. Dickens may have
written many noble things, in which we
joice, but ho has written and read many aline
which is deadly poison." Whether the ser
mon was duo to a pardonable ignorance or an
unpardonable wish fora sensation, or a mix
ture of both, nobody knows and nobody cares
for Mr. Dunn is amen of no mark. The true
sentiments of Boston toward Dickens were
well presented, yesterday, by the Rev. Wm.
R. Alger in the Music Hall, his subject being
" The Sword and the Pon ; with a tribute to
the memory of Charles Dickens." In alluding
to the power of novelists and secular writers,
lie said that in the pages of the theologians
the name of Christ is constantly used, but it
stood for a character of hideous cruelty. There
was more of real Christianity and self-sacri
ficing love in Dickens's description of the
child in the London Hospital than in all the
ponderous tenets written by John Calvin.
A high place among those who have distin
guished themselves as the best instuctors of
mankind must be assigned to Charles Dick
ens. His moral virtue and tenderness was
extraordinary, and ho excelled as a teacher of
piety and virtue ; a proof of piety was mani
fest in every allusion he made to God, or the
unknown and infinite. The happy spirit in
which he.contemplated all objects. was a con
trail consideration in his whole literary life.
His kindly pen photographed all with a touch
of beauty. He never dipped his pen in gall,
but in tears and in his heart's blood. The
vast number of characters with which he
peopled an enchanted world of life are re
markable for their truthfulness of representa.
Lion and morality of effect. Such a man puts
the human race in his debt. He emancipates
and enriches by the sublime touches of his
genius. What sunshine he shed into the
homes of men, what a flood of hapiness he
dispensed to the four quarters of the globe I
Standing besides the dead Dickens he would
say ; Tread not on him. Peace 1 The man Is
noble, and his fame folds in the orb of the
earth. If he did not believe the orthodox
creeds of the church, he had rendered a great
service to Christianity by unveiling the falla
cies of the church. Ho had' ot written ono
word of attack upon morality or religion, and
he Amnid not be rejected the miserable stand
ard of the sectarian conventicle. Dickens
did not write for the applaues of the world;
lie sacrificed for truth. In his writings he
directly copied the example of Christ, who
took little children In his arms. Every touch

INDIAN MOCCASINS.
The mystery of moccasin manufacture is
little known in this region, yet It la interest

and Leather Reporter will, no doubt, be new
to many readers :
Moccasins are much worn by the women of
the far west as house slippers, and la the dry
seasons are preferred by pedestrians on long
journeys. In very cold weather of the inland
high latitudes they often prove the warmest
covering for the feet that the hunters and
pioneers can procure, though having at com

dressing the hair, or any other feature of the'
costume which, though It varies among tribes,
may be described generally and briefly, as
breech cloth and nakedness, blanket and
paint.
